Fun fact, I recently promoted Lemmy on r/place (it’s the only reason I go on reddit now. Not for place, but to promote Lemmy) and all my comments were removed a few hours after.
What’s your end goal here? To import more choosy lurkers?
Yeah, I agree that the people that wanted to come here already did.
Why would I use other platforms?
This is a yes/no question and thus not open. Also, it’s similar to the recent discussion around /r/place. Removing under rule #4.
I’m going to go against the grain here but from time to time I go to my country sub, have a look at people that seem unhappy with Reddit, and post a comment like “Hey, we have that alternative community there, if you want you can give it a try”
Our current Lemmy community is still very small, so I guess that’s fair for now.
You can put a link to Lemmy in your reddit profile.
I do. But I got ridiculed and downvoted to hell. I hope those are u/spez bots cause if they are real people then that’s really unfortunate.
Nope. I’ve told my close friends about it and I share lemmy links to them sometimes. That’s enough. Just share lemmy links instead of saving images to send. That will make people curious eventually.
No. I don’t care.
I’m happy to be here, even if it’s not part of the New Social Media Renaissance Where Everything Will Be Better.
I’m here for the memes, not the revolution.
I actively took part in creating the Lemmy banner on r/place over the past few days.
I know it brings traffic to Reddit, but I don’t really care if the IPO brings them a few more dollars because of my 7 fake accounts.
Best way to promote Lemmy is to link up some interesting content on it.
Not actively. I’ll put link to Lemmy in my profile / bio on other platforms, but I think Lemmy is at a sweet spot right now where there is a fair amount of activity to keep people engaged while some quirks are being worked on before reaching an even bigger audience.
Hopefully it will grow organically.
Didn’t get the chance to yet so no
I promote Lemmy IRL.
